NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 20 SEPTEMBER 2010

Hi there once again and welcome to this week’s newsletter, which is long overdue. We had some naughty person trying to hack into our website and cause mischief. It took a while to sort the issue out but it came from one of the small plug-ins that we used. Now all hopefully sorted and ready to go again !

We’ve still been adding new photos to Miliblog over the past few weeks but not been able to tell you all about them. Our Eastern Front Collection is still proving very popular with all of you out there according to the mails we’ve received, so here’s a few more samples of what went on this week.

We start off with a nice photo of a group of German soldiers posing for the camera. I’m pretty sure the one in the middle is a Panzer, or tank crew member, judging from the design of his jacket.

Next we a have a good close up photo of what appears to be a summer uniform, which will be very useful for our re-enactor friends.

For your delight we have a Panzer II tank ploughing down a muddy road. Nice diorama potential for our model makers. A 1/35th scale from Tamiya or an older 1/48 scale from Bandai.

Judging from the dusty road, summer on the Russian Front looks as abig a problem to the mud of the winter months. These foot soldiers look as if they would like to steal of the vehicles parked up to save their feet !

And finally we have a pair of broken down Russian tanks. Not too sure what model of tank they are though. Perhaps one of you out there knows and can email us ?

So we will close this week’s newsletter by saying that if you like these samples, then theere are nearly 1600 original WW2 photos in our Eastern Front Collection. So whether you are an historian, a model-maker or a re-enactor, I’m sure you will find some photos there to interest you. Next week we’re back to the Atlantic Wall of Normandy !

Cheerio !
